- Design and implement Infrastructure as Code (ARM, Bicep, Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines to enable automated, compliant cloud deployments
- Embed Zero Trust and security-by-design principles across all cloud architectures while implementing Azure-native security services (Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, Policy, Entra ID, Conditional Access)
- Conduct security posture assessments, risk evaluations, and remediation planning to strengthen enterprise cloud environments
- Translate regulatory and compliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 1/2, GDPR, TISAX) into actionable technical and operational controls within Azure
- Lead audit readiness activities including evidence gathering, control validation, and stakeholder reporting on compliance posture and risk
- Serve as Agile Product Owner for Azure infrastructure and security services, owning backlog prioritization, roadmap planning, and sprint execution
- Partner with engineering, operations, and executive stakeholders to ensure delivery alignment, operational stability, and continuous improvement

- Proven ability to implement compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 1/2, GDPR, and TISAX in cloud environments, including audit and gap analysis work
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep in production environments
- Strong background in Agile environments, with experience as a Product Owner or technical delivery lead preferred
- Ability to communicate complex technical and regulatory concepts clearly to both engineering and executive stakeholders
- Certifications such as Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer, CISSP, CISM, or CISA are highly valued
